    Hello everyone

    So last night I got pretty drunk with a my soon to be new roommate and after hours (well more like weeks) of tooing and froing as to whether I was gonna tell him im gay I just blurted it out... Ahhhh scary... But his reaction was amazing to say the least. He didn't care one bit and said don't change anything. I didn't exactly say I'm gay but I told him that I"i think I might be gay "... And that I was still trying to work it out but I felt like he had a right to know if we were gonna be living together.. I gotta say I've never felt so nervous in my life.. My heart was pumping so hard I could hear it.. When I got home later I had the weirdest feeling of happiness and absolute fear... But he's been in touch today to confirm he's not got an issue so I'm feeling OK about it now..

    I still dunno if I'll ever tell anyone else... I still can't shake off the feeling of missing out with girls... Marriage and kids in future but it does feel good that someone else knows..

    One of the odd things I found was his lack of interest.. I don't mean that in a bad way coz he reacted great.. But i think in my head I'd built it up to be such a huge deal and he didn't really ask any questions... He just said it's all good whatever I decide.. Which i found a bit underwhelming in a way as I think mentally id prepared myself for a whole host of questions...

    I just wanna thank everyone who posted on my previous thread too

    I never posted on your other thread but I didn't come out till I was 26 so 28 is definitely not too old.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :thewave: That's wonderful news. And believe me, each time you do it feels so great, even the times that aren't spectacular. Well, that's only my experience, I can't really speak for everyone, can I? Anyway, as far as what you're missing out on, things are getting a lot better. Marriage is legal for us in most states, and adoption has been legal in a lot of states for a long time. As far as girls, well, it doesn't really work out that well for us anyway. But you may find that a lot more girls will feel comfortable with you as a friend, and you'll get to know them better than their boyfriends or husbands ever will.

    Referring back to the old thread, you don't need to try harder with the girls, you need to try harder with the guys who make you hard. :wink:
